Corolla: Great Car

If you're looking for reliable, this is the car for you. In 5 years, all I have ever had to do is change the oil. My Corolla has never given me a single concern. And the style never gets old. Great car in every aspect!

It's as good as they say

This is a reliable, economical car - just as advertised. I've had to replace the clutch at 96,000 miles (a little early, in my opinion), but besides that, no worries! I got my Corolla used, and went to the effort to get the 5-speed. I'm glad I did, because I can burn plenty of rubber if I choose, and still get 40 mpg commuting to work. How many other cars can boast that, especially at 98k miles? I feel I've made the right choice getting a Corolla, and plan on driving it for many years to come.

This is my fourth Toyota and 2nd Corolla. My first one - a 1990 is still going strong with my daughter who has now clocked it over 225000 miles last month! This is the greatest little travelling car going!

I bought this LE model brand new. Since then it has been driven by 4 members of the family for a total of over 120,000 miles and runs as good as when we first bought it with no big repairs except the A/C. In fact, it still has the original exhaust system. We are in the very snowy Pocono Mountains in PA. It is only so-so in snow on the road that is over 3" without snowtires but I'd still recommend it to anybody. The only better vehicle I've driven is a Toyota RAV4.

What a fabulous small car! I have enjoyed driving this car for 11 years now, and it's still going strong. The fuel efficiency is outstanding. I have and never done anything other than routine maintenance on this car (which I purchased new), and it now has 195,000 miles on it. I recently test drove some new cars, and my 98 Toyota actually drove better than some of them!
